When you lose the pressure, do you hear any knocking or ticking from the engine?

What was it im having the same darn problem but not quite an hour about 10 -15 mins basically once its warmed up iv done the same things you have except I havent done the cam bearings yet due to the fact that I heard they have to be pressed in? What else can cause oil presure to drop. Can a bad hydr lifter cause loss of oil presure?

You really need to post your own questions and not try to tag onto someone else's old question.

This question belongs to someone else and they will get annoying notifications every time someone posts here so it's not a good idea. This isn't going to get you any better or faster answer.
